The saved passwords are not shown in 'password manager'

My firefox browser had saved my password for Yahoo.It logged me in automatically everytime I went to the particular site, without a problem but recently I Forgot my password for yahoo and when I went to the password manager it was empty and did not show anything. I then went to yahoo mail to make sure whether or not firefox still has my password and found out it logged me in just like it did before which means firefox remembers my password but won't show them in 'Password manager'. Pls help me .

There are two elements that are 'remember' points for yahoo web mail.
Depending on what you have clicked in the past, Yahoo.com saves a little file on your device called a 'cookie'. When you 'logged' into the website for the first (or more recent) time, there was a little check box next to the login field and password fields. It probably was checked. this enabled yahoo to save on your computer a 'cookie' so that you are now known by yahoo and others , when you connect ,and when you last looked at their website (and were presented with their advertising, as payment for using their free service), now when you signed out from Yahoo, it remembered the cookie, and not your password. The next time you forgot your password, and clicked 'I forgot my password' at yahoos site, it looked at your 'cookie', then sent you to the correct site for your country or language.. Thats what fouled up before. (Remember , Firefox has not saved your password yet), however, there was a point where you can click update my password), and then FF will save your password to the website you told it to. Auto-Complete is what happens when you fill in your user name, and that also gets stored with your 'cookie'.
J Hope this helps explain the 3 places where your password is kept.
1) Locally on your device in a secure file (IF Master Password is used) based on the domain name you connect to.
2)In a cache file in memory, while the session is active, and refreshed occaisionally, and linked with a 'cookie' from the website.
3)At the Yahoo Web Server and cached internally, to match with the cookie that is stored with your machineID.

Why the distant objects are not shown ?

Hi , everyone .
The distant objects are not shown unless moving the view closer to them in Java3D .
How to change or set to show the distant objects without moving the view ?
Anyone on any information or advice would be helpful.
3QS !!!
PS: using the defualt virtual universe : SimpleUniverse

When you are creating the View Object do something like this:
// Set up the Front Clipping Distance - in Virtual Eye Coordinates
myView.setFrontClipPolicy( View.VIRTUAL_EYE );
myView.setFrontClipDistance( FRONT_CLIP_DISTANCE );
// Set up the Back Clipping Distance - In Virtual Eye Coordinates
myView.setBackClipPolicy( View.VIRTUAL_EYE );
myView.setBackClipDistance( BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE );
The VIRTUAL_EYE can be replaced by PHYSICAL_EYE and a few others(check javadocs for View for more info)
and the FRONT_CLIP_DISTANCE and BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE are just :
public static final double FRONT_CLIP_DISTANCE = 0.1; // 0.1 Virtual Meters
public static final double BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE = 100; // 100 Virtual Meters
so to get your objects in the distance to render at a greater distance from them, then just increase the BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE to 1000 or something like that
NOTE: the larger the BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE, the longer and slower it will take to render you scene each frame. YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS (in CPU time)
Hope this helps

Some of the open applications are not shown

Hello!
I upgraded my MBA2011 from Lion to ML via the appstore.
Some 3rd party apps do not show up in the dock nor the task switcher (cmd-tab).
Also if they are statically added to the dock, they do not show the "open app" indicator
(which is really really bad visible in ML)
I can see the processes in the "end task (alt-cmd-esc)" and can use this to switch
in between, but thats not really userfriendly.
I think I read that there are some changes regards to non signed apps.
I did not find any setting in the control panel or the finder, anyone a top how
* how to show all apps in the task switcher in the dock?
* how to make the open-app indicator more visible?

After I posted this, this showed up as a suggestion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17723048
The "killall Dock" works, have to try the
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Drag that plist file to the desktop.
Reboot, and your problem should be fixed.
later on

The maximize/minimize and close and buttons are not shown correctly when FF windows is maximized.

I have the same problem on all my computers, one running Windows 7 and two with Vista.
The three buttons in the upper right corner of the FF windows are not shown correctly. They are soft of cut off in the middle when the FF window is maximized.

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off. 
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window. 
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Embedded Fonts are not shown anymore

When I create a PDF from a Word Doc, the embedded Fonts are not shown anymore. In the previous Version it was working perfectly. My version is currently 11.0.10.

Thank you for your feedback. The Job im using is simple take a word document converting it into a pdf format. If this is done I will see it in my Acrobat view. There is no fonts at all. The System is notifying me that the font "ETBFGYI+DIN-Regular" are not embedded. And there will be some character not shown or printed correctly. I didn't change anything on the setting of Acrobat. I'm using this Acrobat almost for 2 years and I never had any problem. The Problem came up after the last update of the software to version 11.01.10.

My Usernames Passwords are not being saved, the pop up question about saving a password or not never shows. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

My usernames and passwords are not being saved. I never get the prompt:
"Do you want Firefox to remember the password?"
I've tried the help screens but I can't find the answer. Please let me know how this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Doug Clarke

Make sure that you have set Firefox to remember passwords.
* Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
(even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
problem.

Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
improvements.
I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
I did however discover that there is still what could be
considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
it's data.
I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
before only that one will be saved.
So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
be this way.
But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
for the next editing session.

For some reason my back button and refresh button dosent work,,,also my passwords are not saved in my craiglist windows

i just had some update today didnt really read it it was with mozilla so i just installed, now my pages were the wrong sizes and the toolbar with the backpage and refresh dosent work also my passwords are not being saved on my craiglist page

Don't worry about the time, as it took us a while to get it done. I learned a few things along the way, about Button Layer Set order, and what happens, once the Menu has been Imported.
Most of it will not apply to your original questions, at least not as I read them, but might prove useful in time.
Good luck, and happy reading...

I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
iPad -- Same
Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail. When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode. They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am. Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage. I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
Hope this helps...

Firefox is not remembering passwords for sites that i visit regularly. Ihave checked the box "remember passwords for sites" in the security tab under tools, but the passwords are not being remembered when I return to the sites.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Passwords are not working on any sites?

Hi
I'm stressing...........
For some reason my passwords are not working on anysites. I've tried about 4 or 5 different sites now all with different passwords.
Does this mean there is some sort of malware installed somewhere?

Hi jen, tough to tell with so little info, but are you using Safari? Do you have Java disabled? Do you have "open safe files after downloding checked?

What is the command to verify the configuration that are not saved or sent to local controllers?

Q: What is the command to verify the configuration that are not saved or sent to local controllers?
A: We can execute the command that is shown in below image to check the status of the configuration that has been made.
Note: For example I made changes to the default VAP profile and executed the command "show master-configpending" which shows the pending configuration to be saved/sent to local controllers.

But that jar file loads without images and icons when it is in other directory.Images should be accessed via a URL rather than using a filename because they will exist as entries in the jar archive not as files. Typically this URL would be obtained by using the Class method [getResource()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResource(java.lang.String)]. There are details in this [Java World article|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2002-11/02-qa-1122-resources.html].

Windows XP SP3 cached domain user credentials are not updating after password change over VPN

We have a bunch of sales people who stay on the road indefinitely, using Windows XP SP3 domain joined laptops.
When they change their domain user password, while connected through the VPN, the cached credentials are not updating locally on their laptops. This causes issues at their next Windows login, where they have to use their prior password to gain access
to the OS. Then when they connect through the VPN client, they have to use their new password. We have already tried Microsoft KB 829652 (which was rolled up with SP3 anyways).
I have found several work arounds, but I would like to attack the root cause.

You have to recache the credentials if you change the password. You may have to get the user to log in locally. Then connect to VPN. Once connected to vpn, have them do a run as on any program...I usually use notepad or internet explorer (this will
cache their credentials with the updated password.).

The saved passwords are not shown in 'password manager'
